We have added various node titles, etc. for accessibility. I noticed today that the action menu chevron now has double tooltips. The browser tooltip as well as the dojo one. I don't think we have this problem anywhere else. Up in the banner, the user profile link and user menu chevron have browser tooltips. So the questions are: - can we have dojo tooltips for those top items and still be accessible? - can we have just the dojo tooltip for the actions menu and be accessible? - if we need to have the browser tooltips for accessibility, what should our strategy be for dojo vs. browser tooltips? we should look at gmail, etc.
(In reply to comment #0) > - can we have dojo tooltips for those top items and still be accessible? I don't see a reason why we couldn't. They exist for the actions menu button (and I guess most (if not all) of the buttons in the UI) and those remain accessible. > - can we have just the dojo tooltip for the actions menu and be accessible? I would think so. The browser tooltip gets brought up from the title attribute on the button, but that doesn't get read by a screen reader (the aria-labelledby attribute directs what is read in this case). So by removing the title attribute, it should remove the tooltip without any adverse effect.
I took a stab at changing the all the browser tooltips to dojo tooltips. The buttons/links all seem to be accessible. In doing this, I had to also fix a couple of weird issues regarding the tooltips' accessibility. I've put the commit here in the bug371819 branch. https://github.com/max-li/orion.client/commit/f16400f9b9c9c2e0d8887ef118fb95a42c9d7bea
